Subject: Great Recording w\Garcia emphasis in mix
Just downloaded this and April 28, 1971 and like many have said you have to figure in the (lack) of affordable and portable recording setups back then. Given this these shows are a match, relatively speaking, to any "current" recordings.
The beauty of these recordings is how well they were mixed or recorded and balancing the sounds of Jerry's pedal steel and the sweet vocals of this NRPS are upfront and not muddy. Given that Jerry claimed the pedal and lap steel guitars were the hardest instruments he played and that he only got one if it was sent to him in tune, he's a pretty quick study.
By the way the only onstage pedal steel jerry played after the NRPS was during their tour as back-up for Dylan back in the mid-80's. This was only for at most one song each show. So enjoy this treat and how fortunate it is available to anyone with the ability to download. Now if only a sbd or aud. recording of Jerry playing The Wheel on steel would be available...!?!

Subject: cassette's
1970 was the days of reel to reel & 8 track tape decks.Cassette's came out around 1973or1974.If the show is on a cassette it is not a master.Tapes would most likley be done by the soundman,on a Reel To Reel.Mic's back then on the stage are omni pickup patern,so you get a Aud.sound even though it is a soundboard.

Subject: incredible sound considering age and source...
please disregard any reviews of this show that whine about the sound quality-- if you have been a collector longer than these kids who know nothing but the digital age and the instant gratification of downloading an entire show in under an hour--- you will respect and cherish this recording!!
(geez- it makes me feel cranky and old and i'm only 36! wow...)
there is a new band called Beachwood Sparks who are imitating this sort of sound-- and it inspired me to go back and listen to NRPS-- and i'm glad i did!!
and as reviwers have previously stated-- with ol' Jer on pedal steel- how can you go wrong??
i'm giving this 5 stars just to offset the chumps that complain about the sound...

Subject: Mac Users Might Try Audion3 w/ Kareoke Vocal Filter
The Source IS TOO COOL!!! "spread approx. 25-30 ft. across the balcony onto
a Sony TC124 deck."!?! HS Basketball "Arena" Sound.
Karaoke "On" w/ the Macintosh Application "Audion 3" works well w/ this (Go to: Edit Preferences->Effects->Karaoke). Overdriven
vocals w/ too much stage bleed to the vocal mic, so
surprisingly, the "Karaoke" Vocals filter helped a lot w/ the shareware
Audion3 for Mac! Sounds, at times, like Live Dylan...

This Page has confirmed to me, it's also Jerry Garcia at this Performance. Obviously, since it is right around the time of
recording Tracks for, CSN "Teach Your Children" and "Workingman's Dead...??? Where else are you gonna get this??? FIVE STARS!!!

Subject: Nothing is like Jerry on the Pedal Steel
And I mean nothing.

I wish Dirty Business here was a little slower, but I cannot get enough of NRPS. They have always been my 2nd favorite band.

Wish the sound was a little better but I am really greatful to see this here. It brings back the memories for sure!

It really deserves a three, but I cannot for personal reasons.

Subject: Great Venue, Great Recording.
The Capitol in Portchester was such a cool place. The Dead and the Riders always seemed to play great here. I saw them a couple of times here and will never forget it. This version of these tapes is the best sounding one I've heard (and I only sampled the MP3s, will DL the shns tonight).
I don't think there are any other versions of "Live And Let Live" and "If You Hear Me When I'm Leavin'".
The whole band sounds great.
Give it a shot. It's cool hearing the crowd and the occasional "Far Out Man" from some buzzing head.

Subject: Classic New Riders
A unique concert from the penultimate country-rock band. Sound quality leaves a bit to be desired, but amazingly good for a cassette recording. Several songs are done differently from many of their concerts, most often the tempo. Check out the lyrical variation in "Henry."

Subject: AUD quality fantastic for 1970
Having heard every NRPS AUD and most every Grateful Dead AUD from 1970, I have to say that this recording is among the best from that year. All AUDs take some *ear tuning*. You have to listen to a few to be able to really feel what's going on. This one pays off in a big way once you've settled in. All things relative, this being a recording from 1970 where no SBD recording even exists, this is a must hear! Don't exclude gems like this based on assumptions about AUDs in general. PS - Try using headphones. It helps.

Notes

John Dawson - rhythm guitar, vocals
David Nelson - lead guitar, vocals
David Torbert - bass, vocals
Jerry Garcia - pedal steel guitar
Mickey Hart - drums

This recording also circulates as part of the complete night's shows with the Grateful Dead.

A wonderful sound document from 1970. The recording has a fantastic *feel* to it, and captures the band playing in top form.
